Forgiveness helps the one who forgives as much or more than the one forgiven. The beauty of forgiveness is that the forgiven ones don’t need to know they have been forgiven by us. After all, they might not see anything wrong in what they did, or they might not even know they had hurt us. But if we were hurt by someone and we wait for an apology, we might never get it. We can forgive anyway, because it heals us and makes us stronger.
